Foot for thought

Nandan has even struck a deal with a neighbourhood shoe-seller, who hands him footwear in bulk at a discounted rate. Nandan's family wasn't aware of his initiative till recently. In fact, his father still doesn't know. Nandan manages to fund the footwear from his pocket money.

Collection drive

After hearing about the initiative, Nandan's friends and co-volunteers of Metta Media, a community of creative individuals who take up projects for non-profit or social causes, have decided to hold a footwear collection drive tomorrow.

"We heard him talk about what he was doing and we wanted to help in some way," says Madhusudan Agarwal, filmmaker and volunteer with Metta Media. The collection drive is planned as a surprise for Nandan, but we aren't sure the secret will remain one after this story is out
in print.
